商品簡介
Now and Forever is a new work from an artist whose stories have reshaped America's literary landscape; two novellas that have never before appeared in print - each distinctly different, yet uniquely Bradbury - demonstrating the range of the author's talent and the vitality of his mind, spirit, and heart.
In Somewhere a Band Is Playing, a writer is drawn by poetry and dreams to tiny Summerton, Arizona, a community hidden in plain view, where no small children play, and where the residents never seem to age. Enchanted by its powerful rural magic - and by a beautiful, enigmatic lady who bears the name of an Egyptian queen - the writer sets out to uncover Summerton's mysteries before the inevitable arrival of a ruthless destruction.
With Leviathan '99, the author who once colonized Mars returns to the cosmos to reimagine Herman Melville's classic masterwork of obsession and the sea, transforming a great whale into a worlds-devouring comet. In the year 2099, fledgling astronaut Ishmael Hunnicut Jones boards the Cetus 7, placing his fate in the hands of a relentless madman who is blindly chasing the celestial monster's tail. And in the merciless void, a crew of earthborn and alien star-travellers will face a divine judgement, and an "enemy" wielding the most fearsome weapon of all... Time.
